Ethan stood in front of the inn's desk, checking the room reservation list with the innkeeper.
Every now and then, his gaze drifted outside, catching Claire's shadow who was now walking away with Eliza, down a quieter street.
Although his eyes were monitoring the pair of red eyes walking together, his face still radiated a calm expression.
However, there was an unreadable glint behind his gaze, as if something was raging in his mind.
Zayn who had just entered the inn and stood near him noticed his gaze.
The curiosity inside of him arose, making him open the conversation in a tone that seemed casual, even though there was actually hidden suspicion behind his tone.
"You two," he murmured, "you're not... a couple, are you?" While walking closer to him.
Ethan turned slowly, looking at Zayn with a smile on his lips, a smile that at first glance seemed friendly but carried a vague and mysterious impression.
